- Stop Hunger Now - Nov. 29th (Shawnee Mission Northwest High School)
Our club is doing a special fundraiser (fill up your beer can with money!) so that we can package up thousands of meals on Nov. 29th. We need a handful of volunteers to show up at 5pm and help setup. The meal packaging begins at 6pm. We did this project back in January and packaged 16,000 meals along with the Shawnee Mission Northwest Interact Club. Let's beat that record!!

On Sat. Oct 22, Rotarians and friends from Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe, Gardner, Shawnee and Lenexa completed a service project that involved painting a US map on the playground of Ridgeview Elementry School. This event was organized by RINC, the Rotary-Inspired Networking Community. 
Mark your calendars for Sat. December 10th! The Lenexa Rotary Club's annual Holiday Party will take place at The Crescent apartment complex clubhouse, located in Lenexa near 87th & I-435. More details to follow.
We are in the process of raising money for our Stop Hunger Now event on Nov. 29th. During that event, we will package as many meals as our fundraising efforts can buy, and the meals will be delivered to people in need around the world. To support this effort, please empty the beer can that Fred Spears gave you, put your spare change in it, and return it to Fred. 
Friday's meeting is your LAST CHANCE to bring winter coats. The collected coats will be donated to the Johnson County Christmas Bureau. Greg Peterson (who has been collecting the coats) will not be at our meeting this week, so give your coats to JC Burcham. As of Wednesday morning, our club has collected 77 coats!
